Castellolí is a small municipality in the Anoia comarca of Catalonia, and like hundreds of comparable towns, it issued its own emergency fractional currency during the Spanish Civil War — a direct consequence of the Republican government's failure to supply sufficient coinage to local economies after 1936. These municipal paper issues, known collectively as paper moneda local, were produced under wildly varying conditions: some by professional printers, many by local stationers or even hand-stamped. Turró catalogues this piece as #753, placing it within the documented corpus, though surviving examples in any condition are infrequent given the chaotic end of the war and subsequent Francoist suppression of Republican-era material.
